Wikipedia
McCausland (Mac Ausaláin in Gaelic), meaning "Son of Absolom" is a surname of Irish and Scottish origin. The family claim descent from the Cenel Eoghain race in County Londonderry and Tyrone, a branch of the Ui Neil.
Alternatively, the surname may be an Anglicization from a Gaelic name, as was the case with many Irish surnames, changing to sound more English over the centuries. The surname "Mac Ausaláin" may have an underlying Gaelic personal name, possibly Caisealán, meaning ‘little one of the castle’.
Notable people with the surname include:
- Charles McCausland (1898-1965), Irish cricketer
- Richard Bolton McCausland (1810-1900) Attorney-General of Singapore, and his son of the same name (1864-1933), a notable surgeon.

McCausland sent to Toronto for a specialist -- an alarming move in our village -- and the specialist had very little to suggest except that immersions in warm water at four-hour intervals might help.
